If Doan was about 5 years younger, I would be heartbroken about him not coming here. But since he is 36, and there is a potential full season lockout, it takes away the sting. Love the team loyalty on his part for sure though. Will say that.

I agree. It would be a pretty proud feeling staying with the same franchise your whole career, with a relocation. The fact he isn't chasing a ring at this point in his career shows what kind of person he is.

My first, and final offer to Doan would have been 1/5 or 2/9, anything more than that just seemed stupid to offer a 36 year old player on the decline.

Couldn't hurt to sign Arnott. Wonder if he would take something under 2 mil for 1 season? Could be a nice addition while we develop our youngins like Kassian.

Ultimately, I think we have to, and will find our guy in a Luongo trade. Just a matter of who and when. If we give them a little time, maybe Kassian or Jensen turn into a great 2nd liner. Who really knows.

One thing I do know is that some of our prospects are going to be playing actual games soon while NHLers aren't. Should be good for their development. We're lucky in that way that hockey has good development and Euro leagues. They'll be primed and ready to challenge for NHL roster spots.
